Opportunity Knocks on Silicon Valley's Door
High Tech Silicon Valley, Inc. Offers U.S. Investors a Piece of the Booming
Brazil Internet Market
SAN ANSELMO, California - July 23, 2002 - As Brazil's Banco Itaau this week
announced it would invest US$35.4M in Internet and US$101M in other
technology next year, the Brazil-based investment firm Opportunity, one of
the largest companies of its kind in Latin America, launched its U.S.
subsidiary in the heart of the Bay Area. High Tech Silicon Valley Inc.
(http://www.opportunitysvs.com) will serve as a point of contact for U.S.
investors and venture capitalists interested in the booming Brazilian
e-commerce market.
Established in 1994, Opportunity maintains offices in São Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro. The company has been acquiring stakes in Internet start-ups since
1998 and now holds a balanced portfolio of Brazilian e-commerce companies,
including market leaders IG.com and IG Finance.
High Tech Silicon Valley will enable Opportunity's senior decision makers
and Internet holding managers to establish a strong presence in the U.S.
investment community. "This local organization will be responsible for
making the U.S. investment and venture capital communities aware of our
current Internet portfolio as well as the financial possibilities related to
participation in these and other key developments in Brazil and the
surrounding area," explained Benedetto Ciccio, Vice President of High Tech
Silicon Valley.
Brazil has become the largest business and consumer market in South America,
with expected annual growth projected to be in double and triple digits for
the next several years. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently estimated
$2.7 billion would be involved in electronic commerce in Brazil by 2003,
presenting a lucrative opportunity to U.S. investors and e-commerce
companies alike.
"Since 1999, we have been actively investing in many Brazilian Internet
projects," said Ciccio. "In less than two years, we have built the region's
most prominent portfolio, committing substantial capital to companies
providing outstanding technologies and services for e-commerce, media and
telecommunications."
Opportunity is now actively looking at Internet investment opportunities in
Brazil and abroad, with a special focus on the new developments in Silicon
Valley and the Boston high tech corridor. Two companies in Opportunity's
portfolio are currently expanding internationally, reported Ciccio. U-Near,
the developer of leading Web site customization and messaging tools, and
Agência Clicker, Brazil's leading Internet advertising agency and the
world's most awarded Internet agency for 2000, are both seeking partners in
the U.S. and Europe.
